    Windows 10 Problems installing Windows 10 Build 10130

    I originally tried upgrading from 10122 on my new Surface 3 but that failed. Restored to Win 8.1 (not without pain) as I didn't like 10122 on my Surface and downloaded the 10130 ISO this morning.

    Windows 7 Restoring system from image backup

    The Size of the Image file is 25 gigs. The hard drive was 200 Gigs. The new hard drive is 150 Gigs. But thanks to your post it's clear what I need to do - Partition the 200 Gig to 150 Gigs or smaller, re- image, then install the new drive which I then should be able to restore to. Thank you

    Windows 7 Restoring system from image backup

    Is there any way to restore a system image to a new SMALLER drive than that from which it was created, even though the image size is much smaller than the new drive? According to the help file it's not possible. Is there a work around? Maybe I could copy the files across then do a system...
